About the Author

Sixteen years as an elementary school librarian led Marilyn Myrick Watson to the writing of the State Greats Biography Series. As students asked for books on famous Arizonans, she repeatedly told them, “there are none.” Frustrated by this, Watson started her own research. She was born in Steubenville, Ohio, the daughter of an avid reader of biographies. Watson got her degree in elementary education and a minor in library science at Miami University in Ohio. She obtained her Masters’ degree in counselor education at Arizona State University. She began teaching fifth grade in Phoenix, followed by five years of grant writing and teacher training in Tempe. When her first daughter was born, she took time off to finish raising her family. After the last of four children went to school, so did she. She has been a teacher-librarian in Scottsdale, Arizona, since 1991.
